Kylian Mbappe suspension and Hugo Lloris drink-drive charge linked to World Cup success, claims Marseille manager Rudi Garcia

FRENCH World Cup stars have been accused of letting the success in Russia go to their heads.
Kylian Mbappe will feature against Liverpool in the Champions League tomorrow night, but is serving a three-man domestic ban for petulant behaviour which earned him a straight red card.
The 19-year-old wonderkid was given his marching orders earlier this month after reacting angrily to a rash challenge from Nimes' Teji Savanier.
While Tottenham's Hugo Lloris, a captain for both club and country, has faced fierce criticism after being found guilty of drink driving.
Lloris, 31, was allegedly more than twice over the drink-drive limit when he was caught by cops - just over a month after he lifted the World Cup in Moscow.
And Marseille coach Rudi Garcia believes the duo's recent conduct is related to their summer triumph.
He said: “It's less glamorous playing in the League.
I don't want to make generalisations but why's Hugo Lloris had some problems?
"Why's Kylian Mbappe had some problems?
“Even if they aren't of the same nature. I think that the World Cup comes into it - that's why I'm using them as an example."
